Default Right then, the hunt is on for a Series 1

After a lot of thought and driving round in my Retro 80's XR2 i have decided that i want a nice clean and tidy Series 1 RS Turbo

I always said that if i got out of Cosworth ownership i would get one as i always wanted one. When i sold my 3DR i nearly bought one but didnt in the end for a few reasons, so now the hunt is on

But it means that i have to free up the garage space so i will be having a sale soon........

So then people, this is the requirments...

It must be SOLID AND RUST FREE as it will be used alot, but mainly on nice days
Standard or near as, ie Dont mind an Exhaust, Suspention and maybe a chipped one but tbh not bothered

Will pay the money for the right car.......ie, i dont want a 2k shitter

Keep your eyes out peeps
